You asked
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 I seek the following information:
The first part of my request is into how often the internal part of the tube windows (i.e. the window surfaces inside the passenger cars) are cleaned?
The second part is whether I could have access to a transverse section technical drawing of the S8 stock of the metropolitan line? (I.E.) The shape and of the train 'face on'
Many thanks in advance
